CALTECH YESS Summer Program 2009

<p>@snowing yes, that’s the address. They have a phone number too on their website:
(626) 395-6208
I called that too… no response. We’ll probably have to wait a while. I bet tons of people applied and their swamped with applications.</p>

<p>@hpaero1:</p>

<p>Lol, when I emailed them with an application question, they never returned it. Yeah I usually write more than my peers, jut because I go into so much detail. Gotta cut to the chase and only put what matters I guess. Thanks for the help, I’ll look into that some more (release of the apps).</p>

<p>@singularity94: I think I am going to call them next week if I don’t get a response by the end of the week.</p>

<p>I’ve called and emailed a few times since a week ago and have not gotten any replies. No news is good news?</p>

<p>Do you think that not having a complete applicatioon, though corrected by their date, will have an impact on their decision? Just 6 more days!</p>

<p>I have no idea. I am really unsure if they got the online portion of the app, I never mailed it in time to meet the new deadline. Ughhhh</p>

<p>5days5days5days5days…</p>

<p>Wonder if maybe they’ll let us know tomorrow??? :-)</p>

<p>^probably not, but I wish. =)</p>

<p>Why would they let us know early lol? Would be nice but I guess it would be one less thing to worry about.</p>

<p>I am new and wondering how everybody is doing waiting for the decisions from YESS. Are there any Sophomores out there ? What are your chances? I know they only take three. How many applied?
What do they look at to admitt a sophomore? Do you have to be a minority?
I am black and waiting patiently and hope I have a little chance of getting in.</p>

<p>They only take 3 ??? We’re in trouble then here!</p>

<p>Yes!! they only take 3 and 27 juniors. A sophomore has to be very competetive just like a junior----taking almost the same classes as juniors.</p>

<p>Good Luck to everyone!!.</p>

<p>@Beyond - My PSAT scores and courses are very competitive with juniors, but we’ll see what happens as I am not a minority.</p>

<p>This is the ‘month of waiting’ for me. I applied to YESS, Earthwatch Fellowship, Entrada Scholars at Calvin College, and Questbridge…all replying this month!
YESS is my first choice and first decision so I’m kinda sorta freaking out lol.</p>

<p>Oh wow Jayay… at least if YESS is really your first choice, then that makes life easy if you get accepted… just don’t open the envelopes of the others :-). I know for me, having choices makes life much more difficult especially if accepted to all, or not accepted to the first choice… now what?</p>

<p>@sMITten—I think you have a very high chance than most of us. You do not have to be a minority but it is a plus. Good bluck to you, if not then you will have even a better chance of getting in.year will</p>

<p>Hey Beyond,</p>

<p>Thanks! I don’t know at all, if they are only accepting 3… I guess we’ll wait and see. However next year I am hoping to get into RSI ! I need YESS this year to help make that happen :-).</p>

<p>It looks like we’ll be waiting until Monday, but hopefully not so late as it was when they sent out confirmation emails. 8 am works for me :-).</p>

<p>One more day.
Good luck!!</p>
